The 86 cm tall dancer, 32 years old, fell in love with a man of 1 meter 7.
Cassie, 32, and her boyfriend, Blake, 19, are from Minnesota and defended their relationship in a recent episode of True Love Not Judged. Last summer, the dancer met the teenager on a Facebook dating site and moved in together a month after dating. Cassie, who describes herself as "the world's youngest dancer," said they received a lot of brutal comments online because of the height difference. She was born with cartilage hair hypoplasia, a hereditary bone growth disorder characterized by dwarfism and other skeletal abnormalities. The couple also faced criticism from their close family and friends who feared their 13-year age gap. However, Blake insisted that he loved Cassie and that no matter what others thought, he was ready to settle down.
